Ten! Yes, we insist! Edition number ten \u2014 TEN \u2014 and since this is our tenth edition, we commit ourselves to this <em>deu<\/em>, this <em>spring of water<\/em>, this flowing source that preserves the unique character of each of its drops: science, emotion, health, art, learning, growth, harmony, solf\u00e8ge, music, humanity, therapy, generosity, teamwork, community, movement, vision, mission, honesty, professionalism, life, presence, memory, rigour, vibration, limit, no-limit, essence, mastery, perseverance, companionship, dialogue&#8230; and more drops of water whose names we must continue to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This natural fountain of goosebumps that ESMUC offers to everyone is meant to remain the professional meeting point we all need. We speak of continuing to research with both scientific and artistic certainty, to reach those places where we know Music Therapy belongs: within the medical, social, educational, and personal spheres. And we work so that the arts as a whole may also be recognised for their transformative power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we let this spring of realities flow and reflect beyond our borders. How? This year, the conference is held alongside the <strong>MDW (Vienna)<\/strong> and the <strong>Norwegian Academy of Music (Oslo).<\/strong> Together we can live \u2014 truly live \u2014 these new shared challenges, the similarities that unite us, and the differences that make us stronger in our courage to move forward with Music Therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ten editions have marked a profound journey through our professional, family, and personal lives. And above all, what we know for certain is that we continue \u2014 and want to continue \u2014 on this path of deep, coherent work for the dignification of Music and the Arts as a therapeutic reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May this tenth edition once again become a celebration of art and science in the service of people, from people. From knowledge. From sensitivity. We feel joy and gratitude for your presence. If this is your first time: we\u2019re glad you\u2019re here! If you\u2019re returning: we hope to remain worthy of your trust \u2014 thanks to you as well!

The following year marked the first official edition, focused on music\u2019s therapeutic potential for people with neurological disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequent editions have delved into the intersection of music and neurology as a framework for pedagogical, social, and professional reflection, or have explored music as a unifying element across the arts. Leading up to this year\u2019s edition, the conferences have examined topics such as mental health, music therapy across life stages, and musicians\u2019 health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We now approach the tenth edition with confidence in the path built so far and a firm commitment to maintaining the high level of professionalism that has always characterized our invited speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
